Answer 1

npm i -g @schematics/angular 

updates you to the latest version of the schematic. Also important to update your angular cli:

npm i -g @angular/cli

Answer 2

Library support starts from Angular cli version 6 & above...

Please Check the release note for more information...

Answer 3

npm i @schematics/angular

Answer 4

I got this error when I tried to generate a service myService :

ng generate myService

This fixed the problem:

ng generate service myService

Why can't someone make a UNIX shell that does what I want, not what I type? :-)

Answer 5

ng config cli.defaultCollection @ngrx/schematics
